I have been wanting to offer developmental editing services for a while. Mostly because I know it is always easier for writers when they have one editor for all steps of the process. I have been hesitant to offer it thus far simply because I am not sure of the time frame I can promise. Having a six month old puts some restraints on my time. If I offer developmental editing, I would want to be able to finish in a timely manner but also be able to do it to the best of my ability. For copy/line editing I am able to finish at least 10,000 words a day. For developmental editing, I would love to have a timeline of 8,000 words per day. I would then return it for revisions by the author, after which I would complete a copy/line edit of the manuscript. I plan to make the price for this full edit $.008/word or $8/1,000 words. What I would really love to do right now, is to find two or three authors who are willing to be slightly flexible with the time frame of the developmental portion of the edits. I would be more than willing to offer a discount for the inconvenience. If you (or an author friend) is in need of an editor, please feel free to contact me and we can chat further. :)
